Key Takeaways

IPL

Brands are investing heavily this season on Kohli whereas it is clearly Dhoni who is the crowd favorite when it comes to the IPL.

Dhoni is mentioned 5X more than Kohli. Perhaps due to the superior performance of the Chennai Super Kings, perhaps because of his aura with the tournament historically.

Beauty

Young India feels that beauty is something that is more about what you feel inside as opposed to the result outside. We need to remember that this is a cross section that’s skewed towards a higher SEC so for the mass market this lesson may not completely apply. Having said that premium brands now need to start focusing on how their products improve self-worth, accentuate what’s inside consumers’ hearts by giving more definition to how consumers’ eyes, lips are able to better tell the stories of their souls.

Listening to music

Music for India’s youth is something that they escape to when they’re feeling alone and really taps into helping young Indians figure why they’re feeling alone. So music is expressing for them what they’re feeling but can’t say.

Owning a Car

For a large number of Indian consumers, Owning a Car is a dream fulfilled. Despite the issues with traffic and the convenience of Uber and Ola, young India still thinks of a car as a dream being accomplished.
